Thanks for the info..... but I could care less. I live in the Villages,Fl.
full time and don't care about prices on the North Shore. Where did you play golf today? How much did it cost? Where did you drive your cart for dinner?
How much did it cost? While we're at it.....what is you point?

Gal. of milk on North Shore $2.59
Cheese on North Shore $3.59 a lb.
Ham On North Shore $3.99 a lb.
Eggs (doz.) N. Shore $2.49

Marblehead?

[Jima64]

Would you tell us the store name and if it is part of a chain or not. Would love to compare utilities especially in the winter.

I would like to add: Sounds like a wonderful place to live full time. I think one would stay there and never grace the shores of TV again.

Is Marblehead a nice area?

If you are trying to make up a budget the info might help, but as mentioned in the posts what store are you looking at. You also have to look at coupons, sales and what type of local store you are using. Probably better to look at regional cost of living figures put together by the goverment.

Food prices are definitely going up and up as product shrinks in size I remember yrs ago we always had parties. Now it's so expensive to continue on with the tradition. I never get out of Walmart for under $100 and then I think geez, what did I buy? You have a valid concern with the rising cost of food. Thank goodness we don't have families to feed anymore

But food prices are going up EVERYWHERE. I'm not sure if the OP is just curious, or if the deal breaker in moving to TV full time is the price of milk

Most folks in the Villages want a restaurant meal around $15 bucks

I think you can buy groceries reasonably priced in The Villages or just outside. It may not be a one-stop-shop, however. You will have to have a routine. Produce at Farmer's market or at a farm stand, buy-one-get-one at Winn Dixie or Publix, bulk items at Sam's or Walmart, watch the ads for meat when it's on sale. Even Fresh market have some great meat deals certain days of the week. You can also get some great produce at Save-a-lot.

For comparison, just got back from Wegman's in Central NY:

large eggs, $2.89 dozen
gallon milk, $ 3.29/ gal
White cheese, $ 4.89/lb
Sliced ham, $6.99/lb

So it's all relative

I can't say I pay all that much attention to food prices in general, but for sure everything here is much less expensive than Hawaii. I practically needed a Xanax every time I went to Safeway!
